The environment across the national capital does not seem to improve in the coming few days. Delhi on Tuesday woke up to a thick layer of toxic smog as the average Air Quality Index (AQI) stood at 363 at 7 am. The AQI did stand in the 'very poor' category despite the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP)-III in effect across Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR), according to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).

As reported by news agency ANI, a layer of thick smog engulfed several areas along with Delhi, showing little improvement from Monday morning's AQI of 396.
